There is no African god/religion/diety that does not emphasise the worship of satan. I have considered many, and in practise they direct one to worship (Appease) satan. The understanding is that God did not create man to worship the devil, the command is that "we should resist the devil". Search for yourself and you will find this to be true

Marriage is an institution ordained by God. In our society (Nigeria) we have three type of wedding (1) Traditional (2) Court (3) Church. Any of these three can stand alone and is accectable before God. Just that we love to do all or any combination of the three. If you make up your mind to have all the three, then it will be wrong if you start having sex after say the traditional wedding and the church wedding pending. The church wedding is not a compulsion. Like someone rightly said you can invite your Pastor for blessings during the traditional wedding and that could be all. Since some churches are incorporated and others are not, you will notice that for couple wedding in incorporated churches, they need not go to registry for JOINING, they only go for filings. But for those using non incorporated churches they will have to do JOINING in the registry before the church wedding (in most cases). So you are at liberty to decide how far you want to go concerning these three, but if you choose to have the three, then wait till after the completion of all before sex.

Mark 10:5 - And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. (Read Mark 10:1-5)

The above scripture is the response of Jesus Christ, when asked why Moses commanded divorce.

There is what is called the Law of first mention; which says that when you want to know the Truth about a matter, go to where it was first mentioned.

Jesus Christ said in the beginning it was not so, but because of the hardness of man's heart Moses gave them the law of divorce. but whenever man wants to exercise his will, it is alway difficult for another to stop him whether the cause is good or not. If you understand how powerful WILL POWER is you will understand how powerful God has created man to be. Not even God will trample upon man's will. Have you checked why man seek divorce, in most cases you will be alarmed.

Divorce is a serious issue in our world so the church cannot shy away from it. Because anywhere you turned this day you meet someone hurting because of divorce. Our hearts has failed us, we failed to know the truth about issues. Marriage is more than Love, marriage will task every known attributes/quality/morals you have and if any is not adequate and you are too proud to correct/strenghten it then it will fail in that area (The strenght of a chain is determined by its weakest link). Hardness of heart is one of the subset of pride.

Shalom!

@ Bani,

There should not be much worry, your bank GTB will surely credit back your account. I have had similar experience with Sterling bank twice. The first time my account was credited back after many days since they have to get confirmation/approval from their Head office and Interswitch. Secondly the Machine was able to regulate itself. I leart from the e-banking people that the machine has been programmed to regulate itself mostly by 12.00noon and at other times depending on the bank and machine type and and like your case that was not credited, you can ask for computer print out of your transactions using the ATM from the Bank. What I did was to stop transactions using my ATM, until the whole thing was resolved in case of arguements. Your can complain for your money from any bank even if it is 500 naira. I was credited back on the two occassions you can also be creditted.

Money is related to fulfilment. You may not be fulfilled when you dont have enough money to meet your needs.

@ Esss

In as much as I don't have any thing against what gives you fulfilment, infact most of them I desire, but your equating Heaven to money is fatal.
